thx, any US suppliers besides Amazon?

Flo is made by an Australian pharmaceutical company, and you can buy it from this Australian online pharmacy, which ships internationally. It took about a week to ship to the East Coast. Especially if you order enough to get free shipping, it's a lot cheaper than Amazon too.

lol my in-laws were supposed to take our 4yo for the week so that we could concentrate on sleep training our infant.

they went to a concert on saturday and are positive now. whoops!

told us that they were surprised they were positive today, because they yested negative on the day of the concert. (???)

i gave them test to treat info to get pax, but they're deciding to wait on their PCP who denied them pax last time they had covid despite being 65+, overweight, and with heart conditions. lol.

they're excited to get out and about in five (5) days because a friend told them that is all anyone needs to quarantine for before they're safe.

what is up with people, man.

the PCP did indeed deny them pax because �the side effects would be worse than the symptoms�

lmao

An unsurprising finding, though it is "good" to see the data being explored. A brief note on the difference between persistent symptoms vs severe COVID, and why the latter is less of a factor than one might expect, it is worth noting the time frame only goes to 2021 and in the early stages of the pandemic hospitalizations costs were covered for all. As such - and to the extent that they per definition don't have long term symptoms - it is unsurprising that the effect is much smaller as it effectively amounts to being out of the job market for a time, but getting back while it was still booming.
"Association of Severe COVID-19 and Persistent COVID-19 Symptoms With Economic Hardship Among US Families"

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2812772 posted:

Key Points
Question Are COVID-19 outcomes, including severe COVID-19 and persistent COVID-19 symptoms, associated with economic hardship among US families?

Findings In this cohort study of 6932 families, the odds of reporting economic hardship were higher for families headed by an adult with persistent COVID-19 symptoms and, to a lesser extent, families headed by an adult with previous severe COVID-19 compared with families with no history of COVID-19. Families with lower income before the pandemic were more vulnerable to employment disruptions and earnings losses associated with an adult family member�s COVID-19 illness.

Meaning Policy actions to mitigate the household financial hardship of post�COVID-19 conditions merit continued discussion.

Abstract
Importance Little is known about the association of severe COVID-19 and post�COVID-19 conditions with household finances.

Objective To examine associations between COVID-19 outcomes, pandemic-related economic hardship, and prepandemic socioeconomic status among families in the US.

Design, Setting, and Participants This cohort study used data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID), a nationally representative, longitudinal study. Data included 6932 families active in the PSID in both 2019 and 2021.

Exposures Ordinal exposure categories were defined based on whether the reference person or spouse or partner reported a positive COVID-19 diagnosis and (1) persistent COVID-19 symptoms, (2) previous severe COVID-19, or (3) previous moderate, mild, or asymptomatic COVID-19. Families with no history of COVID-19 served as the reference group.

Main Outcomes and Measures Outcomes included whether a resident family member was laid off or furloughed, lost earnings, or had any financial difficulties due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Results In this cohort study of 6932 families (772 Hispanic families [weighted, 13.5%; 95% CI, 12.4%-14.6%], 2725 non-Hispanic Black families [weighted, 13.1%; 95% CI, 12.3%-14.1%], and 3242 non-Hispanic White families [weighted, 66.8%; 95% CI, 65.2%-68.3%]), close to 1 in 4 (2222 [weighted, 27.0%; 95% CI, 25.6%-28.6%]) reported income below 200% of the US Census Bureau poverty threshold. In survey-weighted regression models adjusted for prepandemic sociodemographic characteristics and experiences of economic hardship, the odds of reporting pandemic-related economic hardship were 2.0 to 3.7 times higher among families headed by an adult with persistent COVID-19 symptoms (laid off or furloughed: adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 1.98 [95% CI, 1.37-2.85]; lost earnings: AOR, 2.86 [95% CI, 2.06-3.97]; financial difficulties: AOR, 3.72 [95% CI, 2.62-5.27]) and 1.7 to 2.0 times higher among families headed by an adult with previous severe COVID-19 (laid off or furloughed: AOR, 1.69 [95% CI, 1.13-2.53]; lost earnings: AOR, 1.99 [95% CI, 1.37-2.90]; financial difficulties: AOR, 1.87 [95% CI, 1.25-2.80]) compared with families with no history of COVID-19. Families headed by an adult with persistent COVID-19 symptoms had increased odds of reporting financial difficulties due to the pandemic regardless of prepandemic socioeconomic status (families with lower income: AOR, 3.71 [95% CI, 1.94-7.10]; families with higher income: AOR, 3.74 [95% CI, 2.48-5.63]). Previous severe COVID-19 was significantly associated with financial difficulties among families with lower income (AOR, 2.59 [95% CI, 1.26-5.31]) but was not significantly associated with financial difficulties among those with high income (OR, 1.56 [95% CI, 0.95-2.56]).

Conclusions and Relevance This cohort study suggests that persistent COVID-19 symptoms and, to a lesser extent, previous severe COVID-19 were associated with increased odds of pandemic-related economic hardship in a cohort of US families. The economic consequences of COVID-19 varied according to socioeconomic status; families with lower income before the pandemic were more vulnerable to employment disruptions and earnings losses associated with an adult family member�s COVID-19 illness.

News article on the matter:

Report underscores financial pressure of long COVID on families
(..)
More than a fourth of households (28.4%) headed by an adult previously infected by SARS-CoV-2 (1,147 affected families) reported persistent symptoms. The remaining 5,785 families (84.6%) had no history of COVID-19.

Of the 6,932 families, 17.0%, 23.0%, and 16.8% reported that a household member had been laid off or furloughed, lost earnings, or had financial difficulties, respectively, due to the pandemic. Overall, 14.2% had at least one member who lacked health insurance in the past 2 years.

I somehow didn't see this until it was re-quoted earlier today. I bought 4 200M units because I've got contractors coming in and out and I want something I can run constantly. Is there any way to make the 200M less drafty/gappy? I can run my CR cubes after the contractors leave, but it would be great to have something moving the air around the whole time.

Check all of your purifiers and see if your filters have any gaps. Maybe I just got a bad unit. If there is a gap, you could stuff the gap with a folded sheet of paper (like fold it 4 times along hotdog axis, maybe it'll take more than one sheet. For me, tape would be a last resort because I really don't want to damage the filter media or jeopardize a return.
